I think eventually we will have to create ProDataSets, etc., for all the tables so we end up with meaningful data (parent/child relationships, some of this type of customer, some of that type, etc.).

It sounds like a good idea except for the extra buffering overhead (which might be inevitable anyway if we're going to ProDataSets). For now just to get started, I modified the prodict/dump_d.p source to allow just pulling X number of records off the top of the table as an option.
